Simtower was ok, but got a bit monotonous. Not enough variety.

I like those 2D fighters, and there are a couple of these available for the Wii.

Yes - they are far more attack-offense orientated than the SF games. That is, the are faster paced, and reward for aggressive fighting than the slower-paced, tactical mind-games of SF.

And they look fantastic.

That really sucks, sorry.

I hate that 360's are so unreliable, but at least Microsoft is good with the repairs.

They would need to be with that kind of failure rate.

While you all know I absolutely love the "Metroid Prime" games, I'm a little worried about the announcement of the "Metroid Prime Trilogy" for the Wii, as well as several other GameCube titles being redone with Wii controls.

I hope this doesn't become a trend that makes Nintendo feel they don't need to release good original games for the Wii as much.

I'm not even sure I'll pick up the "Metroid Prime Trilogy". I already own all three games, and I have several GC controllers which I can use on the Wii to play the first two.

The Wii has potential to be an incredible system, but the way it's been marketed just doesn't make sense to me.

Calm down. Muscle March more than makes up for it:

You realize that you are the last person on the Internet to get around to saying this, right? Welcome to 2007 or 2003 or something.

They just released Punch Out!! and there's supposed to be a Kirby game and Sin & Punishment 2 later this year. Then there's Wii Sports Resort. All these are sequels and stuff, but so is the vast majority of what Sony releases. Nintendo also keeps making noise about all kinds of interesting products they haven't announced yet. That's how Nintendo does. They don't show their cards until they're good and ready to, usually a few months before release.

I'm thrilled about the MP trilogy, since I only have the first one. If you have them all already, yeah, you probably shouldn't bother. Not sure Nintendo expects you to.

i don't think meg is talking about remakes or sequels, but rather direct ports of older nintendo titles

I know. Preemptive countering, if it came to that.

People rerelease video games. Nintendo really suffered during the last console generation, so it makes sense to rerelease the good Gamecube games as Wii titles, since the Gamecube originals are out of print and they now have a system people might actually buy them for.

Personally, I really have nothing against video game ports any more than I do new releases and transfers of movies on home video formats.

This Modern Warfare 2 trailer looks like the best video game ever!

Seriously, never seen a video game preview put together so well.

I'm gonna rep you for this, because that does look like the greatest game ever.

My god!

Great trailer, but the Transformers sound effects were a little out of place.

Goddamn "Castle Crashers" is addictive.

I've now beaten it three times - with the Red Knight (electricity), Blue Knight (ice), and White Knight (arrows). Now working on it with the Green Knight (poison).

Every time I've beaten it I've unlocked new characters. I must have about 10 playable characters now, and apparently beating it with the characters you've unlocked will unlock more characters.

And I love searching around for all the animals and weapons. The Meat Sword is awesome :lol:

Finished up Fable II and the first expansion, downloading See the Future as we speak. Really fun game, I never played the original Fable but I'm glad I decided to pick it up.
